Title: Kaw KE250s in Oz?
Post by: JC on December 09, 2008, 08:58:18 am

Does anyone know if Kaw KE250s (77-79) came into Oz?

Anyone ever seen one or know the whereabouts of one?

TIA

If it's the Kwaka 2 stroke Ag/Trail bike, Yep. although not sure if i'm thinking of a 175 or 250.

I have a funny feeling that Oz didnt get them  as thats about when the KL250 hit the market. I cant recall seeing a ke250 . lots of 175's though

The ag bikes were KV. 100 and 175 2strokes and  KV 250 four strokes. The KE 100 , 125 and 175 were 2 stroke trailies. Cannot recall a 250 KE in Aus. only KL  KLR, KV and the gutless 4 stroke enduro version(KLX?), also the KT 2 stroke 250 trials bike, KDX enduros and the KX motocrossers.

Thanks guys thats what I tho't. Plenty of 175s (KE & KV); KV250 4T, but no KE250s.

I do believe NZ got some KE250s. Can any kiwis confirm?

I remember KE250's up to about 1981 in NZ (KV250 4T was actually a KL250, KLX250 was KL motor in KX125 chassis)

My old man had a ke 125. I think they were popular as well. Or did I only notice them.
